Great Lakes Shipyard, Cleveland, Ohio, has completed its first major repair contract for a Canadian company, MarineLog reported.
The shipyard was contracted by McKeil Marine of Hamilton, Ontario, to provide winter layup and repair work on its tug and barge, John Spence and Niagara Spirit. The shipyard completed general steel work on both the tug and barge and installed a winch system for the cover of the Niagara Spirit.
Great Lakes Shipyard, a division of The Great Lakes Towing Company, operates a full-service shipyard specializing in new construction, repairs, and modifications of all types of vessels and barges. It is currently undergoing a major expansion that includes a new state-of-the-art 770-ton Marine Travelift; the largest on the Great Lakes, second largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the third largest in the World.
Recent projects include conversion of the Z-drive thrusters on Interlake Steamship Company's Tug Dorothy Ann from fixed-pitch to controllable pitch and the construction and delivery of a 60-foot work boat for the Port of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The shipyard is currently under contracts with SEACOR Holdings, Inc. for the construction of two ASD tractor tugs.
